nigel99 143 #26 February 16, 2011 QuoteQuoteBedford are now routinely putting 2 fliers and 2 instructors in there. They do a 1st flight on you own then (I think) 2 flights with another person in there, so the punter gets 3 flights for the price of 2. That's a fairly recent development in there. SEE...that's what I'm thinking. Any one will fly once...so why come back? Why spend 25 min and $300+ on tunnel time if you don't skydive? SO YOU CAN FLY WITH A FRIEND! It's all about getting people to experience something new from the same investment. Lots of great data out there, lot of amazing people. My team is always amazed at what level of data skydivers and tunnel operators can bring to the table. This may work. This may fly. Crossing fingers and toes. BUT......I just have to be more down to earth. As sexy as a 4M tunnel is....and it is sexy....a 3m tunnel may be more affordable. But the thought of a 4-5m tunnel, wall to wall....5m....oh that so sexy! any one know how big the Montreal tunnel is Not certain what you mean by fly with a friend but you aren't going to "fly" with a friend on your 2nd attempt unless you are very gifted.

adagen 0 #32 February 18, 2011 When beginners fly with a friend at Bedford, each beginner has their own instructor, they don't fly independently. It's not really intended for skydivers, but for people who come once to have the experience.Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
